Hilton’s Tru midrange hotels

Millenials will love them -- and you probably will too

by CAMILLE CHIN  September 2017

The first three Tru by Hilton hotels opened in Oklahoma City, McDonough, Georgia and Lancaster, Pennsylvania this summer; 425 more are in the works. Described as “vibrant, affordable and young-at-heart,” the new chain has small rooms — they’re only 230 to 275 square feet albeit fitted out with 55 inch-TVs and with access to big common spaces. The idea is to get people to socialize. Lobbies are about 3000 square feet with colourful lounge spaces and semi-private, sound absorbing alcoves. There’s free Wi-Fi, free wireless printing and lots of easy-to-reach charging outlets. Play zones have pool tables and oversized board games. There’s complimentary coffee, tea and hot chocolate 24/7, as well as a full morning breakfast bar. Rates range from US$90 to US$100 a night. tru3.hilton.com.
